FOUR KILLED.
Two Women and Two Children
Hurled to Death.
A Train on the Pennsylvania Railroad
Runs Into n Wagon Laden with Berry
Picking Party.

READING, Pa, July 2s.-A frightful acci-
dent happened at Ridgewood, on the
Pennsylvania road, four miles south OF
this city, to- day, resulting in the instant
death of Mrs. Elias Fritz, aged twenty
three years; Miss Amanda Fritz,aged thir-
ty-fvc, and two babes, children of Mrs.
Fritz, and seriously njuring John Nunne-
macher, aged thirteen years. The victims
of the horrible accident resided about four
miles from Reading, and were on
their way to Gibraltar, where they
expected to spend the day picking ber-
ries. They were seated m a covered wagon
and it is supposed failed to hear the ap-
preaching train. Nunnemacher drove the
horse, Miss Fritz sat alongside of him and
Mrs. Fritz and her two children occupied
the rear seat. Suddenly the sharp shrek
of a whistle was heard, but the boy,
thinking he could clear the track, kept on,
and instantly the express dashed by
at forty miles an hour, striking
the wagon and hurling its occupants down
a fifteen-foot embankment. The women
and two little children were thrown sixty
feet away and instantly killed, their heads
and bodies being badly crushed. Nunne-
macher was thrown over the engine and
landed in a field. His injuries may prove
fatal. The remains of the unfortunates
were brought to this city, from where the
bodies will be sent to their late home.

A TERRIFIC TORNADO
Passes Over Milidaic, KY, Completely Dc
stroying the Latonis Grand Stand.

stroying the Latonia Grand Stand.
CINCINNATI, July 27.-This afternoon .
tornado passed over Milldale, KY. ter
rife water-spout came down In q funnel
shape, and striking the grand stand on
the Latonia race course directly on the
west end, passed straight through 1t and
leveled It completely to the ground. It
seems that cyclone Of tremendous
velocity and the water spout struck
the place simultaneously. The wreck
is complete, and an entire new grand
stand will have to be erected. The large
timbers that supported the stand were
snapped in twain as II they were matches.
The roof was rolled up like a carpet, and
blown over hundred yards from its loca-
tion. People who witnessed 1t say that
the wind seemingly lifted the roof for a mo.
ment, and then started it to rolling, as IL IL
were attached to some kind OF
patent roller. When the final
crash came, and the building
fell, 1t could be heard for q mile, 30 loud
was the report. The water-spout was
wondrous sight. 1t came up the Banklick
Valley in southwest course. 1t moved
slowly for awhile, and could be seen for
fully a mile before it commenced to de-
scend. The pool shed, art hall and shed
stables, were more or less damaged. The
clubhouse was slightly damaged.
The large and elegant shade
tree that stood near the lake
was clipped off about ten feet above
the ground. 1t was over two feet in cir
cumference. Two large shed stables that
were one hundred feet long were lifted
from their foundations and carried over
three hundred feet on the outside Of the
Latonia track. Pieces of boards from
them were carried clear out Of sight into
the clouds. Two other stables were
leveled to the ground by the wind, and
some portions of them were moved over
five hundred yards outside of the grounds.
The entire loss will probably foot up

Scandals.
CHICAGO July GA Times special from
Ottawa, Ont, says: The sensation which
was caused at the capital of the Dominion
over the startling revelations made within
the past few days as to the traffic in young
girls Of from twelve to fourteen, in which o
number of prominent citizens, as well as
several leading politicians, are implicated,
promises to develop into a scandal even
greater than that exposed recently by the
Pail Mall Gazette. One scandal following
another so closely in the metropolitan
city has incensed the citizens greatly. Last
night meeting was held under the aus
pices of the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty, with view to devising some
means by which the great stain on the
Capitals good name might be removed.
Special legislation, it was decided, would
be necessary to attain that end, and the
matter must therefore become the subject
of special legislation at the next session
of Parliament before any law can be en-
acted to reach the culprits. 1t is possible,
owing to the fact that the chief of police
has evidence in his possession which
would criminate several prominent pol
iticians if brought into court that such q
measure, If introduced in Parliament,
would be defeated, guilty members of the
Senate and House of Commons, whose
names are freely mentioned, fearing that
their Endorsement of such a measure and
subsequent investigation would criminate

Columbia River Salmon.

SAN FRANcIsCo, CAI., July 29.-The sal
mon pack on the Columbia River is run
ming very short, and the Change, the local
trade journal, estimates that the pack will
not exceed fifty per cent. of last year.
The same journal says: "As consequence
of the extraordinary demand for this fish,
which can not be met, all the large
dealers are rendering the fall fish of the
Columbia river salmon in the Eastern
States in lieu of their original purchases,
and that large quantities of Alaska fish
are being taken in substitution for Colum-

ures. The Sacramento river for the last
four days has been doing well. The usual
fall pack is now taking place. 1t is csti-

FLOOD PANIC.
A Night of Intense Excitement at
Augusta, Georgia.
The City Partially Submerged and Ca
lamIty Il Feared from Break In the
Canal.

AUGUSTA, Ca, July 3i.-The disastrous
floods of the past few days will result in
appalling loss to farmers. From few
miles below the head waters of the Savan-
nah to where II reaches the sea its banks
are overhowed, and water covers vast
areas on either side of its channel. The
situation in Augusta tonight is more than
alarming. At least half the city is under
water and rain is descending steadily.
Notwithstanding the rain, however, the
river is slowly falling, but another and a
greater calamity threatens us. AT $3.50
p. m. Augusta was startled by a
general alarm, and the rumor spread like
the wind that the third level of the Au-
gusta canal had given away. This meant
an inundation of from two to five feet Of
our highest streets and the probable loss
OF many lives. Men, women and children
thronged the streets and cries for fear
and lamentation were frequent and dis
tressing. The hundreds that had rela-
tives and friends near the reported scene
Of the wreck rushed in that direction cry
ing for help to follow to the rescue.
The break was visited by your
representative, most Of the distance
being compassed in a boat, and
it was found that while the
break really existed, it was small and
wearing away the embankment much
less rapidly than was at first believed.
But there seems at this writing no pos
sible way of stopping it, and because the
canal is five feet higher than our highest
streets, the city must be entirely flooded,
and to an alarming depth, in a few hours.
The stores on Broad and other business
streets are open, and merchants are busy
moving their goods to upper shelves. So
far no loss OF life has been reported.
AUGUSTA, Ga, July 3l.-The city has
been under water for the past twenty
hours-that is, the upper portion of it..
Water commenced coming in early last
night, and by three o'clock this morning
the territory embraced between Schultz
Hill, in Carolina, and Harrisburg Hill, in
Georgia, Cumming street and the second
level of the canal was from one to three
feet under water. The water is
now receding and the danger is
thought to be over. About ten o'clock to-
night something of panic was created by
the ringing of the signal alarm, and the
report going the rounds that the great
canal had given away. The bell proved a
summons for workmen, it being true that
the banks were in danger. The loss to the
corporation is s25, 900, to the citizens $4,000
and to the farmers along the river about
81, $4,000.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.
Why the Mission OF the Bloody Shirt
Ended Forever and Forever.

Why the Mission OF the bloody Shirt Il
Ended Forever and Forever.
One significant feature of the recent
discussion concerning the rebel flag
matter was the total absence of any i'll
feeling on the part of the South. The
time was when the Republican bosses
could produce political capital very
readily simply by irritating few
Southern editors, and then infiame the
Northern heart by repeating their lily
considered utterances. This time has
passed, and one reason why the South
will not be drawn into sectional con-
troversies with Republican agitators
is that it is too busy building up new
industries and increasing the general
business of that section of the country.
A very recent review of the industrial
growth of the South demonstrates that
the people have been earnestly at work
within the last two decades, and that
the fruits OF this earnest work have
been most marked during the last six
months of the present year. The
Manufacturers Record. published in
Baltimore, gives the following encour-
aging figures:

of letters containing money and postal

arrested l. o. Wilson, clerk at Station A,
at the Union Depot Wilson confessed
having opened several letters containing
money. He is twenty-three years old, and
has been in the postal service for about
nine months. He punctured letters with
bodlin, and by microscope ascertained
their contents. If no money or postal
notes were seen the punctured places were
obliterated by rubber.

DnATH-TRAP FIRE.



CHICAGO, July 29.--At 2.4O o'clock this
morning fire was discovered in the bakery
of Chris Heffcn, at 0, 165 Archer avenue,
q three-story and basement brick tenc-
ment For time the fire smoldcred, and
nothing serious was thought of 1t. Short
ly after three o'clock 1t was discovered
that II number of people living in the
building were either dead or dying
from the effects of smoke and flames.
The frcmen and police hurried into the
building and soon began carrying out un-
conscious bodies until all the
people had been removed. Then it was
discovered that Marie Trugo, aged two
years was dead. The list of the injured
people is rs follows: Nelson Trugo, Adel
Trugo, Nelson Trugo, jr., aged twelve
years; Della Trugo, aged nine years;
Eliza Trugo, aged fourteen years; Joseph
Trugo, aged ten years; Mr.. Bonner,
Mrs. Bonner, Philip Bonner, aged seven
years; unknown girl. Mrs. Trugo and
Mrs. Bonner and three others will die.
The fire started in Heffen's bake shop in
the basement, and was caused by a pot of
lard being upset. Hcffen and his family
occupied the second story, but they all
escaped in safety. The unfortunate Trugo
family resided on the floor above, in the
rear, while the Bonners live on the top
floor. The four surviving Trugo children
were badly suffocated. Their recovery is
doubtful

not five hundred were good, while some
lots of u hundred cases or more, sent by

stripped. Strictly fresh eggs can not be
obtained ut any price. A similar state of

THEY ALL WANT 1T.
Some OF the Interests That Arc Howllng
for a Bloody Shirt Campaign.

SOm0
for q Bloody Shirt Campaign.
There are several interests in the
country which would like to have the
''rebel flag incident" made the chief
issue of the next campaign. Weak
as that issue might be, they regard it
as strong in comparison with some
others that might be forced upon them.
The big combinations in coal, lum-
Der, salt glass, copper. iron and steel
would like to fight the rebellion over
again in 1883.
Alien landlords now on the point Of
being driven from the country would
not object to it if it promised to bring :
back the party under whose rule they
tlourishcd.
The cattle barons who were elected
from the public lands which they had
unlawfully monopolized would well
come it.
The land grabbing corporations
which have been forced to do justice to
the settler and which have had their
unearned grants forfeited all want it.
The Pacific railroads, owing the Gov
cTHlllcuU PlOO,Oou,OoO WhiCh 1hcy w
not want to pay, would not object to q
bloody shirt campaign.
The Dorseys, the Elkinses, the Clay
tons and the Chaflees are all yearning
for fight on the lines of generation
ago.
Every theiving monopolist in Ameri-
ca, forced by recent events to defend
himself against attacks which are in
creasing in force, wants to change the
subject.
Even Jay Gould would not object if
the prospect were that the war issues
would restore the party from which he
bought the appointment of Justice Of
the Supreme Court.
The claim agents, the subsidy grab
bers, the naval and steamship rings,
the pension swindlers and old Robson
and j. Warren Keifer all regard the
rebel flag as a first-rate thing to scare
honest men with.
The only trouble with the crowd is
that it is slightly too eager. It banks
too much on an incident which will not
avail them much. The ''rebel' scare
kept them in power eight years after
the country was ready to turn them
out 1t will not suffice to restore them
to power now that they have Iee"
turned out. Chicago Herald.
